Advent JJ for 12-19-14 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. James 1:2-3 --- My niece, Laura, and her husband, Dustin, have a beautiful two-year old son, Mason, but she and her husband have been trying to have a second child. Just in this year alone, she has had three miscarriages. Her despair has been felt here in PA even though she is all the way back in North Carolina. In the Bible story of Abraham and Sarah, you read about the despair in the hearts of this couple. They so longed for a child. Years and years pass with nothing but anguish and emptiness. I will just go ahead and say, they had way more patience than me. I would have given up long ago with my sadness and anger levels possibly too high to return to a healthy level. I am hopeful that after women, like my precious niece reads this, they will see they’re not alone in their suffering. I don’t know what the Lord’s future plans are for my niece, but I do know this for sure, the Lord has a purpose for her life. Every event in her life that has caused her pain and suffering, will work for her good. We all need to take the hand of Jesus and step out of the boat and trust, blindly and completely. by Jennifer Nichols --- As we depend on You in our trials, Lord, increase our faith in Your provision. --- linger longer: Genesis 15:1-6, 17:1-8, 15-17; Ecclesiastes 3:1-2; Matthew 14:29 ----- https://youtube/watch?v=F0tOIxQysAY God Will Make a Way Don Moen
